Sennheiser XSW 1-835 Vocal Set, GB Band

Simplicity at its best

You already have enough on your mind when it comes to performing. So why would you want to spend hours trying to set something up? With a Sennheiser XSW 1 Wireless System in your rig, you don’t have to worry about that anymore.

Getting your system up and running is a breeze. Automatic frequency management takes the pain out of frequency switching. And if you want to do it manually, you can do that too. The easy-to-navigate streamlined interface on the receiver makes finding and changing settings quick and easy.

Syncing your components is simple too. Just hold the SYNC button on your transmitter until the symbol flashes, then press SYNC on your receiver. That’s it. All done. All that’s left to do is make sure that everything is connected to the rest of your setup, and you’re good to go.

The system you can rely on

You’re all setup. You’re on stage. And you’re ready to get this show on the road. Nothing can ruin that feeling. Especially with an XSW 1 system by your side. Whether it’s once a week, or five times a day, you can count on true Sennheiser quality to get you through every single performance without a hitch.

Diversity reception keeps your signal clean and clear, automatically switching between your receiver’s antennas when dropouts are detected. Those antennas are neatly integrated inside the receiver too, so you don’t have to worry about them being accidentally dislodged or broken off.

It’s not just about the wireless performance either. Sennheiser products are built to last. From the back of the van, to the cramped stage side, and back home again. You want your gear to be able to endure every single part of your performance, both on and off the stage. And with Sennheiser’s dedication to quality and reliability, that’s exactly what you get.

Complete clarity

The 835 capsule. A legend in its own right. Its sound cuts through the mix like a hot knife through butter. No longer will loud band members dominate your sound. The 835 lets you take centre-stage, because your voice deserves to be heard.

Renowned for its presence and definition, the 835 capsule is the ideal choice for loud and energetic stages. Highs are crisp and articulate, pushing through even the most densely-populated compositions with elegance and efficiency. But that doesn’t mean that it’s just for one particular sound. Not at all. A tight mid-range delivers your voice with distinctive warmth, ensuring that even the most intimate of performances sound natural and organic.
